Security
- Protect from external threats
- Reduce the human element risk
- Implement proactive monitoring
The purpose of the data centre or server room is to provide a secure and suitable environment in which to house critical systems. The security considerations need to protect hardware from all physical threats both inside and outside the server room.
The biggest threat of all is the human element, whether malicious or accidental; access to the site must be proactively controlled to ensure that the wrong people are kept out.
CCTV provides an excellent means of monitoring activities in the data centre whilst environmental monitoring systems alert IT managers to unseen threats.
The outer shell of the server room/data centre can also provide varying degrees of protection against physical threats such as fire, flood and terrorist attack.
